Failte
Romhat-Welcome to our Filidh.
Beannachtaí
na Beandía Dánu.
The Times Most Celebrated
by
The Filidh de Danann of Yore,
were May Eve &
"Midsummer Night's Eve" &
Samhain.
However all the Solstices
& Equinoxes
were natural events that
were also observed
& also there were a few
others that evolved
into large celebrations,
such as Imbolc & Teltainne.
Every Full Moon also has
a special celebration.
Dark Moons & New Moons,
have their meditations too.
Below are some of the Major
Special Holidays that we
still observe.
As a page for each is completed,
it will become linked on
this little menu.
Our Primary Supreme Mother
is Dánu.
The Greenfolk are also loved
& this includes The Fae's
Greenman
& The Greenwoman &
their children.
We love the Faekith of the
Blessed Isles
& they hold very special
places of honour
in our hearts, minds &
souls.
It is a blessing to do them
any kindness
& to write poetry &
music for them.
Creating & performing
lovely arts
for them is a blessed treasure.
yet we also care about
various Nature Spirits all
over the Earth.
Dánu is The Heart of
Compassion,
& in addition
We also celebrate many others
who will
soon have their place of
honour here,
including the Great Swan
of Love
& his Swan Faery Love,
"Yewberry",
who you will come to delight
about.
There is too much to include
at once &
you will need to be given
special access
to view some of the special
parts not
printed for general public
consumption,
as it is made ready for our
Filidh.
Áine & many others
who are dear to us,
will appear,
such as Brighid, Dagda &
Boand,
Manannán Mac Lir to
name just a few.
Yet our greatest focus
will be on those prior to
&
up to the Bronze Age.*
Our Filidh de Danann Faith,
which can enrich & heighten
your joy in life,
& will cover some later
adaptions & times,
however it just isn't our
area of primary focus
to spend much time on very
much
past the Bronze Age,
unless it has specific purpose
& relevance to the present.
Niall & Finn MacCool
& a few others,
such as Queen Medb &
Macha
will be covered in a special
way though.
Please do not wear anything
with iron
or bring any iron to our
gatherings.
Martial Arts & Archery
will be allowed
at some Games Gatherings,
that also feature Horse Racing,
such as at Teltainne.
We believe that a spirit/soul
lives various lifetimes,
sometimes in different forms,
so this is very similar to
what is now
called "reincarnation", because
each
Being has a Circuit of Births
(Tuirgente)
that they go through or traverse.
So each Being is immortal.
Between lives we live in
"Summerland".
Everything Living has Spirit,
from the tiniest to the greatest.
Brightest Blessings!

Inspiration"

of One Fine Green Day of May
Tiny
Tigerish Tale of the Tuirgente
Below:
The "Coligny Calendar"
also known as the Sequani
Calendar,
was recovered in
the Tribal Homelands of The
Sequani,
so we thought it might interest
some of you.
More about this later,
but here is just the general
set up of it.
Some Druidic Orders may have
some other
information on it though.
It is believed that the actual
Bronze Tablet
was originally a work of
the tribe that
honored Sequana.
We include here, merely for
your interest.
